Thus ingrown hairs. In theory.
Well I thought I'd engage with the theory so since then I've stretched the skin a little less agressively and, would you believe it, no ingrown hairs? And still a BBS shave.
Anyone else suspect that although stretching is a vital part of the shave, like all things you can overdo it?
